Sensory Processing Disorder

So, we have finally been given a diagnosis for Adalynn and the things that we have been going through with her! Yay is all I can say not Yay that she has this and may have certain struggles but a Yay of relief that we finally know what is going on with her! She was sent to OT and and the meeting went great. There were things that we thought were just "Addy" that were actually signs of things that were going on with her. She was diagnosed with SPD and we feel incredibly lucky that after months of telling the doctor that something was not right that we finally have an answer. Adalynn is an extremley bright, loving little girl and now that we know how to deal with her issues things seem to be looking up. We have been to OT a couple of times so far and although Addy hates the things that she makes her do we hope to see a difference soon. We have been equipped with tons of information and tools on how to help her. She is starting to use a weighted vest and blanket (she does not like this at all), she has also been put on a Sensory diet which includes Heavy work. With all the craziness that goes on in this household we try are best to give her the adequete time that she needs. I will post more after are next OT meeting and hopefully by then we will have the results of her Autism screening. Love to all you SPD mommys out there!
